Default Appendix holster for a 66 2 3/4"

Any recommendations for a IWB holster for a short barreled Model 66 that would work for appendix carry? Thanks,

Oz

I would look at a thread about 4 below yours about a J frame IWB. You will find many great holsters and suggestions there. No sense in reinventing the wheel here.

If leather's your thing, I'd look at a Lobo Gunleather offset clip.

If kydex, JM Custom Kydex is excellent.

Most kydex makers make specifically for AIWB and the holsters are usually optimized for that kind of carry; most leathermakers offer traditional IWB holsters that can be used for AIWB, but aren't usually purpose built as such.

I carry my EDC in the appendix carry position using an open-top clip-on Don Hume H715-M WCS #1... H715-M WCS-INSIDE THE PANT HOLSTER [H715-M WCS] - $46.35 : Don Hume Leathergoods, Simply the Best!

They have others that would work too... S&W 66 : Don Hume Leathergoods, Simply the Best!

You might check to see if they have the holster you want in stock at Gunner's Alley.

It's not IWB, but this holster conceals very well on the belt, anywhere from appendix to 4-o'clock position, and is way more comfortable than IWB. The gun sits a bit higher, and the snub barrel's muzzle is barely below the bottom of the belt. It's a Triple K "Secret Agent". The gun in the picture is a M66-1, RB 2-1/2"
